Dealing With Bad Beats
By carbon-poker.mysportsbookonline.info

If you haven't had a bad beat in poker then either you've never played more than a dozen hands in your life ... or you've been playing FAR too conservatively.

We've all felt that empty feeling as the river card hits and suddenly your Full House has been broken by two consecutive running cards. That empty feeling soon turns to frustration and then anger as you realise that not only has Lady Luck left your side, but she's gone and sat down in the lap of the guy sitting opposite you and started giving him the puppy-dog eyes. That's right, the guy who decided to throw all his chips into the middle with 8 4 offsuit, but has still managed to come out of things smelling of roses.

Everybody's been through a bad beat and everyone knows how much it hurts, but that doesn't mean that they wants to hear your story. They don't. In fact nothing's more guaranteed to get up the nose of your fellow poker players than someone going into great detail about some bad beat they suffered the week before. Which is a shame really, as there's no doubting that if they'd only listen you'd be able to get it out of your system a bit quicker.

So without your fellow players' help, what's the best way to deal with Lady Luck leaving you? In three words, "Get over it." You have to put it behind you otherwise you'll find yourself going on tilt which can lead you to losing even more chips. Now I know this

is a lot easier said than done, so I've put together a short list of things that may well help you stay focused on your game:

1. Set yourself a minute to vent your frustration. If you're playing online, shout at the scream and wave your arms around if it makes you feel better. I wouldn't suggest doing this in a live game though as it may well get you thrown out. Instead, sit out a hand or two and re-focus. Go to the bar and get another drink, and if you have to tell someone then head off and tell your friend rather than the other people sitting around the table.

2. As crazy as it sounds, think of your self as lucky. As Lou Krieger put it, "It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone."

3. If you play online, head over to Carbon Poker They operate a bad beat jackpot, which means that if you do lose a monster hand, the hundreds of thousands of dollars you'd win as a result will mean that you won't be sulking about the one that got away for too long!
